Hawker Street reconstruction

Hawker Street between Blight Street and Chief Street is planned to be reconstructed in the 2024/2025 financial year including:

• Reconstruction of the roadway from Blight Street to Chief Street
• Footpath renewal (both sides)
• Upgrade to intersections with street print at Blight Street, Tabbard Avenue, Holles Street, Coglin Street, Green Street and West Street
• Installation of a new Wombat Crossing at West Street and Josiah Mitton Reserve
  Planted kerb build outs to beautify and enhance greening opportunities.
• New pedestrian crossing points

Project Background

In late 2020 Hawker Street between South Road and Blight Street was reconstructed to improve traffic safety, stormwater drainage and landscaping for the street. With the design successfully implementing a traffic calming effect the intention is to now continue this treatment along Hawker Street to Chief Street. You can view the initial concept plan here.

We are taking the opportunity as part of this project to improve pedestrian connectivity between Brompton Green and Josiah Mitton Reserves and at West Street with Wombat crossings.

The project also aims to ensure all footpaths, bus stops and pedestrian connections between the roadway are Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant and use the fundamentals of Universal Design principals.
